- Abstract
The article presents a study which aims to offer workable and clear pre-analytical procedures specifying optimal delay before freezing for laboratories which perform themselves such analyses or which transfer and receive such specimens to referral laboratories. The analysis of Vitamin C stability after baseline acidification is mentioned. It is inferred that Vitamin C quantification needs serum acidification followed by freezing as soon as possible.
